Fast key and full-text search with live filters, watches, and precise metadata.
Use quotes for exact phrase matches (for example "fuel selector valve").
Track fatal and non-fatal accident patterns across Part 91, Part 135, and Part 121 operations.

Move quickly by aircraft, airport, operator, and time with indexes built for research, not wandering.
NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.
The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.
San Luis Obispo, CA
The pilot reported that during the landing roll of his second uneventful landing, the right main landing gear started to shimmy. He slowed the airplane and proceeded towards the nearest taxiway. Before exiting the runway, the pilot went to retract the flaps when he inadvertently raised the landing gear handle. He quickly re-lowered the landing gear handle; however, the right main landing gear had already started to retract. The airplane veered to the right, exited the runway surface, and came to rest on the grass. The airplane's right wing was substantially damaged. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot's inadvertent action of retracting the landing gear instead of the flaps during the landing roll, which resulted in the right main landing gear collapsing.
